John, No harm to leave the external meter in line, just don't use it's readings..
I have a Palstar ATU in line for when I use my amp with my multi-band doublet. When the amp is not switched in I'll often bypass the ATU and use the KAT3. The swr meter in the Palstar atu is still in-line however and will indicate forward and reflected powers consistent with whatever swr is on the line between the KAT3 and antenna; the swr reading on the K3 is all that matters in this case but the external meter is not doing any harm.... 73, Stewart, GW0ETF John Dziedziejko wrote > > Thanks for the responses, will take the Palstar out and hook the antenna > directly to the K3 and go by the K3's swr meter and power output > indications. > > Best regards, > > John W9QP > > > ______________________________________________________________ > Elecraft mailing list > Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft > Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm > Post: mailto:Elecraft@.qth > > This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net > Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html > -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/K3-Internal-Tuner-Question-tp7143059p7144340.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
